Nocturnal salivary cortisol and perceived stress in schoolteachers
Teaching is characterized by high exposure to occupational stressors that negatively impact the mental health of education professionals. In this context, the present cross-sectional study aimed to analyze the relationship between salivary cortisol levels and perceived stress in a sample of teachers. Subjective stress perception was assessed using the DASS-21 questionnaire, while salivary cortisol samples were collected by the participants themse…
The ‘Great Game’ Redux? China and Development Heterodoxy in a Multi-polar World 2013–2023
In the 10 years between late 2013 and late 2023, China’s approach to international development evolved at pace and, by 2023, China asserted a leading role in the framing and delivery of international cooperation to support transformational change in the Global South. This article explains the basis for, and unpacks, China’s assertion, and the contribution it makes to evolving development heterodoxy. Adopting a constructivist approach and focusing…
The International Monetary Fund (IMF), Policy Conditionality and Human Rights, 2001–2021
The World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) have been criticised for their weak commitment to human rights, with the World Bank subject to greater scrutiny and criticism than the IMF and despite significant progress since 2015 in linking its policies and operations to international human rights law. In this light, we explore the extent to which the IMF meets its responsibilities under international human rights law. We focus on IMF condi…
“Thinking and Working Politically”
Targeting the perinatal diet to modulate the gut microbiota increases dietary variety and prebiotic and probiotic food intakes
Objective: To evaluate the hypothesis that a perinatal educational dietary intervention focused on ‘eating for the gut microbiota’ improves diet quality of pregnant women pre- and postnatally. Design: The Healthy Parents, Healthy Kids study is a prospectively registered randomised controlled trial designed to evaluate the efficacy of a dietary intervention in altering the maternal and infant gut microbiota and improving perinatal diet quality. El…
The Credibility of International Non-Governmental Organizations (Ingos) and the Oxfam Scandal of 2018
In 2018, one of the largest international development non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the world, Oxfam GB, became engulfed in a scandal which quickly spread to other international NGOs (INGOs). The crisis arose from the sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment (SEAH) of the beneficiaries and staff of leading INGOs and caused significant reputational harm to these organizations amid declining public trust and intense political and media …
The Microbiota-Gut-Brain Axis
The importance of the gut-brain axis in maintaining homeostasis has long been appreciated. However, the past 15 yr have seen the emergence of the microbiota (the trillions of microorganisms within and on our bodies) as one of the key regulators of gut-brain function and has led to the appreciation of the importance of a distinct microbiota-gut-brain axis. This axis is gaining ever more traction in fields investigating the biological and physiolog…
The new global governors
One of the important drivers of change within contemporary global civil society is the growing power and influence of private philanthropic foundations (PPFs). To illustrate this argument, this article considers the cases of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) and the Open Society Foundations (OSF), the largest and fourth largest PPFs in the world today by wealth or assets, and, especially, their founders. The article considers their inf…
UK development policy and domestic politics 1997–2016
Debate surrounds the relative importance of development aid and development policy in donor efforts to support international development. Likewise, the literature on UK development policy points to its putative stability and consistency over time. Both perspectives, however, underplay the political contention which characterises UK development policy and its variable effects. This article, therefore, examines UK development policy between 1997 an…
Governance and transnational civil society
The expansion of transnational civil society challenges the regulatory reach of nation-states, both individually and collectively. One regulatory challenge is that transnational civil society organizations (TCSOs) can avail of opportunities to engage in, or facilitate, transnational rent-seeking in ways which benefit a small group of organizations or individuals but which impose significant social costs. This article suggests that certain roles p…
Civil Society in the Philippines
Drawing on qualitative and quantitative research, this book provides a path-breaking account of civil society in the Philippines. It challenges the widespread belief in political science and development studies literature that civil society in developing countries is an institutional arena in which the poor can challenge and reverse their social, economic and political marginalization. The book goes on to argue that Philippine civil society is a …
Trans-faith Humanitarian Partnerships
Conclusion
At the heart of this collection is a discussion of the role of faith in modern society. What can faith-based organizations (FBO), communities and l eaders contribute to social, economic and political development, in the contemporary world? In particular, what are the links between faith and modernity? Does religion speak to what is often presented as a secular mission, the eradication of poverty and the empowerment of the poor? For much of the tw…
Faith-Based Organizations and International Development
Development studies has traditionally neglected the role of religion and faith and its role in the lives of the poor throughout the developing world. Like other social sciences, it was heavily influenced by ‘secularization theory’, the belief (in Wilson’s classic formulation) that ‘religious institutions, actions and consciousness lose their social significance’ over time as societies modernize (Wilson 1992: 49).1 This influence was evident in tw…

Agents of transformation? donors, faith-based organisations and international development
Recent donor discourse points to the potential of faith-based organisations (fbos) as ‘agents of transformation’, mobilising the moral energy of faith communities in support of the Millennium Developments Goals (mdgs). This new donor-driven agenda, however, invites scrutiny of complementary processes of organisational change within donor institutions. This article therefore examines donor policy and practice concerned with engagement with fbos. W…
The Politics of NGOs in Southeast Asia
The Politics of NGOs in Southeast Asia traces the history of the emergence of NGOs in the Philippines and southeast Asia and the political factors which encouraged this. The main focus is on the period from the mid-1990s when NGOs first became a notable force in the region. It documents the complex relations between NGOs and other political actors including the state, organised religion, foreign donors, the business sector and underground insurge…
Faith matters
Growing interest in faith‐based organisations (FBOs) and development risks compounding conceptual and programmatic biases in recent donor discourse on civil society and development. This article develops this argument in two main respects. First, it argues, donors have traditionally focused on supporting organisations associated with the mainstream Christian Churches and current patterns of engagement risk compounding this trend. Second, differen…
Voices from the Top of the Pile
How do elites perceive poverty and the poor? In this article, we present the results of interviews with eighty members of the Filipino elite, undertaken as part of a larger six-country study of elite perceptions of poverty and the poor. Poverty, we argue, is a highly subjective phenomenon. People's perceptions of poverty, of who is and who is not poor, of how poverty affects them and others, and of how poverty can be effectively tackled, vary eno…
From ethnocide to ethnodevelopment? Ethnic minorities and indigenous peoples in Southeast Asia
This paper examines the impact of development, including the impact of government and donor programmes, on ethnic minorities and indigenous peoples in Southeast Asia. Through an examination of government policy, it considers arguments that mainstream development strategies tend to generate conflicts between states and ethnic minorities and that such strategies are, at times, ethnocidal in their destructive effects on the latter. In looking at mor…
Economic and Political Reform in the Philippines, 1986–96
On 24 and 25 November 1996, 18 heads of state attended the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit at Subic Bay, 150 km northwest of Manila. Formerly a United States naval base with a land area of over 7000 hectares, Subic Bay was transformed into an export-processing zone and ship-repair facility following the termination of the US-Philippines Bases Agreement in 1992. By 1996 Subic had become a successful industrial enclave and wa…

The Politics of NGOs in South-East Asia
Organizing for Democracy
The number, variety, and political prominence of non-governmental organization in the Philippines present a unique opportunity to study citizen activism. Nearly 60,000 in number by some estimates, grassroots and support organizations promote the interests of farmers, the urban poor, women, and indigenous peoples. They provide an avenue for political participation and a mechanism, unequaled elsewhere in Southeast Asia, for redressing the inequitie…

Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and Politics in the Developing World
The proliferation of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the developing, as well as the developed, world, has triggered an 'associational revolution'. Political scientists, however, have made a relatively minor contribution to the contemporary NGO literature which has evolved since the mid-1980s. This article examines some of the main political themes addressed in the NGO literature, as well as related themes in other political studies. NGOs…
